Auto Hide Admin Bar

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   the settings to make it not slide in as quick does not work. no matter what, the moment you put your mouse near the top of the page, the admin bar will show itself. other than that very good.

   Simply beautiful! I don’t know why this option not include WordPress at this time. I mean, this dynamic hiding option, not only show and hide.

   The admin bar still pops up when you hover your mouse over the top of the screen but disappears when the mouse is moved away.

   As a designer I hate the tool bar maring up my design this keeps all the functionality and helps me maintain my sanity. Thanks for this great plugin.
